Hello, Lucas! How are you today?
Hello, Ana! I'm very well, thank you! And you?
I'm great! Today we are going to talk about the market.
How cool! I love talking about daily shopping.
Sometimes small surprises happen when paying.
That's true! Yesterday I went through this at the bakery.
Really? Tell us what happened to you!
I went to the bakery to buy fresh bread in the morning.
Mm, warm bread is a delight for breakfast!
Yes! I took two sweet breads and went to the line.
And when it was your turn to pay for the bread?
I put my hand in my pocket and didn't find the money.
What a scare! Was your pocket completely empty, Lucas?
Yes! There was no bill and no coin in my pocket.
And what did you say to the girl at the checkout?
I looked at her and said our first phrase.
What is the first phrase of our lesson today?
The first phrase is: I forgot my wallet.
That's the classic phrase for these difficult moments!
Yes! It's the main phrase of our conversation today.
I forgot my wallet means not bringing money.
It's a very useful phrase to use in all stores.
And what was the second phrase you remembered?
The second phrase was a question to myself.
What question did you ask silently at the market?
The second phrase is: where is the wallet?
Where is the wallet means looking for the lost object.
It's the right question when you can't find your card.
Exactly! And the third phrase saved your morning.
What was the third phrase used with the cashier?
The third phrase is: leave the groceries.
Leave the groceries means keeping the products for a bit.
I asked the girl to leave the groceries at the counter.
Did she keep your bread in a clean basket?
Yes! She kept everything with great care and attention.
And is the fourth phrase famous in neighborhood shops?
Yes! The fourth phrase is: can I pay later.
Can I pay later means settling the bill another day.
In small neighborhood markets, people use this a lot.
The shop owner writes down everything in a notebook.
It's an old custom in neighborhood business in Brazil!
And does the fifth phrase help those using a big bag?
Absolutely! The fifth phrase is: search in the bag.
Search in the bag means looking at the bag carefully.
My mother takes minutes to look for glasses in her bag!
Haha! And what is the sixth phrase of our lesson?
The sixth phrase is special: what a relief.
What a relief means feeling peace after stress.
When I found twenty reais in my jacket, I said: what a relief!
What a good story, Lucas! Now I have a question.
What is your question about that moment at the market?
At this moment of doubt, which team are you part of?
I am Team Lucas! I stay very calm and search everything!
I am Team Ana! If I don't find it quickly, I run away!
Haha! It's very fun to see each friend's style!
Let's talk more about daily shopping.
Great idea, Ana! Open-air street markets are very popular.
At the street market, you buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
And also eat warm pastel made on the spot.
How delicious! Market pastel is very famous.
People chat with much joy at the stalls.
That's true! The stallholders are very friendly and cheerful.
If you forget money at the market, it's simple.
Yes! Today almost everyone accepts cell phone payments.
Using the cell phone makes life in retail easy.
You can pay through the app in just a few seconds.
It's a modern and fast option for all of us.
And in small clothing stores in neighborhoods too?
Yes! The sellers know the customers by name.
This friendship creates a lot of trust between neighbors.
It's the beauty of simple life in Brazilian cities.
In big cities there are also giant supermarkets.
In big supermarkets there are many lines at the checkout.
When the line is long, one needs to have patience.
Checking pockets before entering avoids checkout trouble.
That is a valuable tip for all shoppers!
Saves time and avoids stress for everyone.
It's also good to check prices on shelf tags beforehand.
Yes! Looking at prices avoids checkout surprises.
And bringing a cloth bag is very good.
Absolutely! Cloth bags are very practical and good.
It's an excellent habit for all Brazilian families.
Small details make daily shopping very pleasant.
Making a shopping list on paper helps a lot.
True! The list avoids forgetting important items at the store.
And it also helps control market expenses.
Excellent idea to save money every month!
Let's play at estimating interesting numbers and stats!
Yes! I have two great questions about national retail.
You can ask the first one! I want to try to get it right!
Do you know how many people forget money at the register?
Let me think... I think thirty percent of people?
I heard that more than half go through this!
Wow! That's more than half of the shoppers at the market!
And the second question: how many find money in their jacket?
I think twenty percent of customers find bills?
I read that fifty percent of people find bills!
What good news! Searching pockets works very well!
Yes! Many people have already said: I forgot my wallet!
Now let's practice with twelve daily scenarios in retail!
I am very excited for today's practical exercises!
Scenario one: you are at the market with people in line. What do you say?
In this situation, I turn to the girl and say: I forgot my wallet!
Very good! That answer is direct, simple, and honest.
Speaking the truth calmly solves everything very quickly.
Scenario two: you are at the cafe and can't find your wallet.
Without a doubt, at this time I ask silently: where is the wallet?
Perfect! It's the right question to focus your attention.
It helps to remember the place where you kept the value.
Scenario three: the girl rang up the items. What do you ask?
For sure, I ask with a smile: can you leave the groceries here?
Great phrase! The girl keeps the bags near the counter.
That gives time to walk to the car without stress.
Scenario four: at the neighborhood shop, you forgot your card.
In a small neighborhood shop, I ask calmly: can I pay later?
Excellent! In shops of acquaintances, this is accepted in Brazil.
It shows respect and maintains a good relationship with the neighbor.
Scenario five: your bag is full of things. What do you do?
In these moments of doubt, I need to stop and search in the bag.
Very good! Looking calmly avoids losing small things.
It's the best choice when the bag is quite large.
Scenario six: you found the bill in your jacket. What do you say happily?
What good news! At this time I take a deep breath and say: what a relief!
Sensational! The feeling of peace is very good for the mind.
Everything ends well when we stay calm during shopping!
Scenario seven: at the street market, you don't have money in hand.
Ah, at this time I ask politely: do you accept app payment?
Very good! At street markets in Brazil, almost everyone accepts cell phones.
That makes shoppers' lives very easy every day.
Scenario eight: you come back home without bread. What do you answer?
In this situation, I say: I didn't bring bread because I forgot my wallet!
Haha! A sincere answer without complications for the family!
Honesty is always the best way in daily conversations.
Scenario nine: the girl keeps fruits and you return. What do you say?
For sure, I pay the bill, thank her, and say: what a relief!
Wonderful! Finishing the purchase politely is excellent for everyone.
Scenario ten: at the bookstore, you realize you have no card.
In this situation, I ask: can you keep the book at the counter?
Excellent idea! The attendant keeps the book on the register shelf.
You get the money and buy the book without rushing!
Scenario eleven: at the pharmacy, you need to check money. What do you do?
Without a doubt, I open the backpack slowly to search in the bag.
Very smart! Looking in the bag without rushing finds everything easily.
Avoids dropping coins and important papers on the cold floor.
Scenario twelve: you paid the pharmacy with fifty reais. What do you say?
With a smile on my face, I get the change and say: what a relief!
Perfect! That phrase ends the purchase with much happiness and peace.
We have reached the end of our educational program today!
Today we learned six very important phrases to use at the market.
Let me do a quick review of all the phrases.
Our phrase of the day was the main one: I forgot my wallet.
And we also studied two questions: where is the wallet, and leave the groceries.
We also learned the phrases: can I pay later, search in the bag, and what a relief.
Now we have our practical task for you at home!
Yes! It's the fun moment to practice speaking in the mirror!
Today morning or at night, go to your bedroom mirror.
Say three times out loud: I forgot my wallet, but I stay calm!
Practicing out loud brings confidence to converse in Portuguese.
And remember to check your pockets before leaving!
Haha! Excellent advice, Lucas! A strong hug to everyone!
Bye, everyone! See you in our next podcast episode!
Bye, bye! Stay well everyone!
